grub-of unresolvable dependency on powerpc-ibm-utils
Hi, I tried to install grub-of 1.95+20070828-2 but it depends on powerpc-ibm-utils 1.0.6 which does not seem to be available anywhere in debian. Is this known, is it a typo? I can file a bug report if necessary. Thanks very much. Nick Schmalenberger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X server lock up after upgrade to 7.3
Hi! I have an Apple iBook G3 (latest model before G4) . I'm running debian unstable on it. Yesterday I upgraded the xorg xserver from something old (think it was 6.9) to 7.3. After that I tried to upgrade KDE. Suddenly while selecting packages in aptitude the system locked up. I could move the mouse pointer but nothing else worked. I rebooted, switched to console mode and finished the upgrade, hoping this would solve the problems. Unfortunately not. I tried the usual suspects: disabling frequency scaling and building a new kernel (2.6.15 -> 2.6.22). But nothing so far helped. Here are my observations: 1. console mode still works fine 2. not using KDE but a rudimentary X11 setup seems to work 3. if I start KDE and open a file with kate, I can trigger the lock up by just moving the scrollbar up and down a few times. 4. I can still telnet into the system. 5. sometimes the X server ist at 100% cpu, sometimes everything is quite. 6. sometimes I see a lot of the following error messages in Xorg.0.log: tossed event which came in late mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping. 7. only a reboot will restore the console Does somebody have a cure for this? Like downgrading some part? Or a configure thing? I start KDE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Radeon / PowerPC (iBook G4) / Help sought with weird colorization of External LCD
Hi Michel and Bin,
The driver no longer supports traditional ("Zaphod" style) dualhead
configurations but just RandR 1.2. See
http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/9846.html or
http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html .
Thanks very much for the assistance.
I have now managed to get a dual-head setup going on the iBook with the
new Xorg + new Xrandr setup.
Haven't quite fixed the mouse cursor yet but hopefully that's not too
hard (cheers Bin!).
As far as the colours go though, correct me if I'm wrong but the new Xrandr
setup uses one set of "gamma gear" (CLUTs?) for *both* screens.
Would this indeed be the case?
Which means I can no longer specify corrective profiles individually
using "xcalib".
Any change to the internal LCD profile affects the external monitor too.
And the colours on the external monitor are pretty funky!
Where do I go from here?
Thanks & Regards,
Jarrod.

Thanks for the tip... and then:
hwclock --set --date="10/14/07 `date -u | awk '{print $4}'`"
Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method.

Do you smell something burning or ist it me?
time date
Hi This problem occured recently, when I installed debian4.0 a couple of months ago. I can adjust time and date with the help of the kde. Date on console is not able to do anything. At halt it complains that it cannot store date, and at restart it resets back to 1904. I tried setting the OF time&date ( how do I show the time and date in OF after I set a new one. I can see it on top when entering OF.) Anyone more familiar with PPC and the arch got a clue? Børge Holen
